II/ As she walked round the huge department store, Edith reflected how difficult it was to
choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that he was as easy as her mother,
who always delighted with perfume.
Besides, shopping at this time of the year was a most disagreeable experience: people trod
on her toes, poked you with their elbows and almost knocked you over in their haste to get to
bargain ahead of you.
Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter where some attractive ties were on
display . “ They are real silk” the assistant assured her, trying to attempt her. Worth double the
price”. But Edith knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
She moved on reluctantly and then quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of men
had gathered round at counter. She found some good quality pipes on sale-and the prices were
very reasonable. Edith did not hesitate for long: although her father only smoked a pipe
occasionally, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please hom.
When she got home, with her small well-chosen present concealed in her handbag, her

parents were already at the supper table. Her mother was in an especially cheerful mood. “Your
father has at last decided to stop smoking.” She informed her daughter.
